Cell Phones at the Movies

Jason and I just saw Halloween. OK movie. Definitely a Rob Zombie remake! He loves the blood/gore. :sword:

Now I would probably have enjoyed the movie A LOT more had there not been cell phone lights going on constantly throughout the movie. I don't give a flying fuck if they weren't talking, but those screens are bright and terribly distracting! The asshole in front of me had his phone lights turning on every 5 fucking minutes!! There were two people in front of him with their phones lights going on and another a few seats down from Jason. I heard a phone ringing in the background a couple of times. Quiet...but now I'm no longer watching the movie I'm so distracted I heard everything! I wanted to tell the guy in front of me to shut off his phone, but what good would that have done if I'm still distracted by the 5 or so other phones turning on in the theater distracting me. The theater wasn't packed, so moving to another seat might have been an idea, but I'd still see those damn phones going off! What's so damn important that you can't turn off your phones and get your stupid text messages after the show? :gun: :flamed:

I paid good money to see this movie. Theaters are very expensive now! $9.00 in NC now! That means it's probably about $10.00 or more in NY.

I guess I've learned my lesson. Don't go to mall theaters during peak movie times! :mad:
 
Oh, I know what you mean! My friends always say "Whats so wrong with cell phone lights, at least their not going off!", but it's still so distracting! And if I can avoid it, I never go to the theater on weekends or weekend nights.

Children! Argh, why would you take your children who can't sit still and yap yap yap all the time to the MOVIES!

Anyways, glad to hear that you liked the movie, and rawr to the cell phone people.
 
when people get text messages around me in the theatre i tend to read the message and then make a comment about it to the person with me at the time, or you do it obviously if your alone get right next to him.

i also tend to start kicking the guys chair until he gets pissed and turns around at which point i say "Shhh you're missing the good part" or something to that effect. i've been confronted after movies about this tenique but i'm also a big guy, so people tend to back down when i get in thier face, but most of the time my explaination is "man back down you were annoying the whole theatre with that fucking light so i figured i could annoy you without a problem"
 
Although I agree that it's somewhat inconsiderate, the lights don't really bother me. So long as people are considerate enough to turn on vibrate, I'm fine. I certainly don't turn my phone off when I go to the movies. Real life is more important that someone potentially getting pissed about how bright my phone is.
 
Exactly. As long as it's not making any noise, it's not an issue really. I mean, if you're really watching the fucking movie, you're not going to notice the fucking lights on my phone.
 
They should have phone nazis stand in the back. When they see a light, they go and rip the persons spine out.

But on an easier note, it does get very annoying.
 
I ALWAYS wait until at least a week and a half after a movie is out before I go and see it. I'm selfish, I'd rather get the whole fucking theater to myself if I could.
 
Easy answer to this problem. It drives people up the fucking wall too.

Cell phone jammer :P No signal, no messages or calls. Peace and Quiet resume.

Just dont get caught using it frequently. the FCC doesnt think its cool to have peace and quiet and can charge you with disrupting the communications act of 1934 if you do it frequently.
 
actually I had thought to myself if I ever owned a movie theatre I would line the ceilings of all the theatres with that wire mesh that blocks electronic communications.. that way everyone's phones just dont work at all while they are in the theatre...
 
Oh that sounds so horrible...
Anyway, people have to text message becuase they are so important! Really.
I hope you caught that sarcasm there. That reminds of this one time....
I don't remember what movie it was, mabye like the 3rd star wars or something? I don't remember. Anyway in the movie this guy's phone kept ringing and he shut it off every time. But I later noticed he was the one fucking making the ringtone! I mean wtf! Why do they do that kind of shit? I dosen't make any sense! I really wanted to punch him but you know, you can't and stuff...
